Authorization Expert - Damien WhoKnows
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
This week, Tiberius Boy sits down with Damien — supervisor in a hospital authorization department, former restaurant worker, food truck guy, physical therapy assistant, and current podcaster. (Yes… all of that. We checked. He’s real.)
We talk about:
What “authorizations” even means in a hospital (spoiler: without it, you can’t get care).
Why health insurance makes everything harder than it needs to be.
Why he calls the healthcare system “a necessary evil.”
How it feels telling someone, “You can’t get the treatment you need,” even when it’s life or death.
What skills you need if you want to work in medical approvals (hint: empathy, Microsoft Excel, and being able to talk to people without freaking out).
Why he thinks health care should not depend on how rich you are or where you work.
